| The study takes place in schools with children and so the assessment schedule may need to be adapted to fit the practical demands of the environment. Some measures may need to move from the full assessments to follow-up assessments, for example. Some measures may be dropped and new measures may be introduced in response to new knowledge, new sub-studies or changes to the factors of interest. All changes to the measures will be reviewed and approved by the ethics committee. Added 06/09/2024: The following is the list of measures as completed at the baseline of the study. Psychological, social factors and resources available to children, resilience and mental health, and cognitive tasks measured at baseline and then approximately annually in the first assessment battery of the year (over up to three sessions) by self-report (full assessment): 1.
